Ah! I don't understand why not then, because so far, mine have been just
perfect for printing out. Maybe my docs are a lot simpler than the ones
you guys need to produce at Red Hat etc.

I honestly have never seen that warning! I must learn to read better I
suspect. However, working in IT, I notice the first thing people do with
a PDF is print it out.

Hmm, I'd forgotten about the TOC. I was a bit focussed on my indices at
the back of the book.

Which is a good thing, seeing as PDF is a pretty decent format for print
and DocBook can be used to create real life dead tree books. It should
be possible!
Just so that you are all aware, I do appreciate the hard work you guys
do in keeping Publican as good as it is - thanks. If I could contribute,
I would. (Actually, I did, a chapter for the manual on installing
Publican 2.9 on OpenSuse -

Cheers,
